One of the reasons running it back isn’t an option for the Miami Heat is because free agency and stricter tax penalties under the new CBA will prohibit the Heat from returning the same group next season.
Three days before the start of free agency, the Heat are looking at tough decisions regarding three guards on the roster: Kyle Lowry, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo.
It’s highly unlikely that both Lowry and Vincent return next season, with Lowry due $29.7 million next season and Vincent set to sign a new contract that could pay in the range of $10 million annually.
